You may have noticed the “guarding” of ones “self” because of personal past experiences and at the same time, you just entered a community of people that do know each other and in more ways than “owner, sub, owned and slapping Buddha”. There are many members in this community that have developed friendships over a long period of time. Of the many sites that you may visit, this one has quite a few particular flavors. If you enjoy simple interactions, it’s here. If you enjoy being a composer and thinker, it’s also here. If you want to learn or be a mentor, it’s here as well.

The mention of honesty and trust will always be an issue but over time and honestly expressing yourself, you’ll notice a few more doors opening.

You will meet what some members refer to as; posers, wannabees and bullshit artists. Anything can be come through these doors; it’s the individual that has the ability to express honor, truth with reasonable common sense and that good standing members will see those qualities. You’ll also meet people that “strut” and feel it necessary for their own reasons. If and when something gets out of hand, I’m sure the admins will “nip it in the bud”

Mostly, you’ll find good people that want to connect within a community to call their own. Being consistent, taking the time to read, learn and standing up for yourself if the need arises, is what makes people take notice.

Read between the lines and don't have high expectations.
